In a groundbreaking collaboration, NFU Energy has teamed up with Tomato Energy to drive change in electricity supply for agricultural businesses. As the first energy provider to offer tailored support and preferential rates specifically for the farming sector, Tomato Energy is disrupting the Big Energy suppliers with its innovative “zero standard charge" tariff.

Driving Down Costs for British Farmers

By eliminating the standing charge for agribusinesses, Tomato Energy is delivering substantial savings, with early adopters immediately feeling the financial benefit. This tariff is a potential game-changer and is available to all farms regardless of kilowatt-hour usage.

Advanced Energy Management for Modern Farming

At the heart of this initiative is Senapt, the sustainable software company that owns and operates Tomato Energy. Senapt's cutting-edge “time of use” software ensures that your farm's energy supply is managed efficiently and economically 24/7. By remotely controlling your half-hourly energy supply, the software guarantees that you purchase wholesale energy at the lowest available rates, minimizing retail cost without any disruption to your service.

Personalised Tariffs Driving Even Bigger Bill Savings

Adding to its suite of innovative solutions, Tomato Energy also offers a personalised “lifestyle” tariff. This unique energy plan assesses your farm's energy usage patterns and identifies the peak periods—such as milking or intensive drying sessions—when your energy demand is highest. During these critical times, Tomato Energy offers reduced rates for up to six hours within any 24-hour period. This dynamic pricing model, similar to the more familiar Economy 7 principle but with added flexibility, ensures that you benefit from lower rates exactly when you need them most.

Getting Rural Britain on the Path to Net-Zero

Tomato Energy's commitment to sustainability is exemplified by its ‘Root to Zero’ framework, a comprehensive strategy aimed at helping businesses achieve carbon neutrality. This framework encompasses a range of initiatives, from promoting renewable energy adoption to implementing energy-saving measures and carbon offsetting programs. By partnering with Tomato Energy, rural businesses gain access to the tools and resources needed to quantifiably reduce environmental impact and align with the UK's ambitious carbon neutrality goals for agriculture.

Committed to Rural Britain

Tomato Energy is not just another disruptive player in the energy market; as a trusted NFU Energy partner, Tomato Energy is a committed advocate for Britain's rural communities and businesses. By placing agriculture at the core of its strategy, Tomato Energy is not only challenging the status quo but also providing invaluable support to the lifeblood of the nation’s economy—its growers and farmers.

By embracing state-of-the-art technology and our deep understanding of agricultural needs, Tomato Energy and NFU Energy are sowing the seeds for a brighter, more efficient future in British farming.
